// A Talk by UVM Professor Alan Steinweis

Germany is today home to about 120,000 people who identify as Jews: less than one percent of the world’s Jews and less than two-tenths of one percent of Germany’s total population. But for obvious historical reasons there is great interest in Jewish life, as well as antisemitism, in contemporary Germany.

Alan Steinweis, Professor of History and Raul Hilberg Distinguished Professor of Holocaust Studies at the University of Vermont, will share his insights into that subject based on his extensive experience living in Germany and teaching Jewish history and the history of the Holocaust at several German universities.
